Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default
fallback in their ioctl implementations. This patch adds a fallback
to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD.
This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
need to export dev_ioctl.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

It also looks like there were 2 places where the test on sk_err was
missing from the event wait logic (in sk_stream_wait_connect and
sk_stream_wait_memory), while the rest of the sock_error() users look
to be doing the right thing. This version of the patch fixes those,
and cleans up a few places that were testing ->sk_err directly.Signed-off-by: Benjamin LaHaise

The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

Use schedule_timeout_{,un}interruptible() instead of
set_current_state()/schedule_timeout() to reduce kernel size. Also use
human-time conversion functions instead of hard-coded division to avoid
rounding issues.Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan

Every file should #include the header files containing the prototypes
of it's global functions.In this case this showed that the prototype of irlan_print_filter()
was wrong which is also corrected in this patch.Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make the following needlessly global function static:
- irnet/irnet_ppp.c: irnet_init- remove the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
- irlmp.c: sysctl_discovery_timeout
- irlmp.c: irlmp_reasons
- irlmp.c: irlmp_dup
- irqueue.c: hashbin_find_nextSigned-off-by: Adrian Bunk

Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this
enum was, needs it.This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are
rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h.Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()
decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original
device into packet_type->func() as an argument.It remains to be seen whether we can use this same
exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Remove the "list" member of struct sk_buff, as it is entirely
redundant. All SKB list removal callers know which list the
SKB is on, so storing this in sk_buff does nothing other than
taking up some space.Two tricky bits were SCTP, which I took care of, and two ATM
drivers which Francois Romieu fixed
up.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ISA_DMA_API (it uses helpers in question and irda is usable on
platforms that don't have them at all - think of USB IRDA, for
example).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
